You were expecting to have a nice afternoon off with Mrs. Ivy cancelling her appointments over voicemail. Surprisingly, however, Harold walks through the salon door alone. <img src="client3/harold0.jpg" alt="" style="height:400px;"> @@color:#3cb496;"$you.name, I think I've succeeded in upseting my mother,"@@ he says with a smile. @@color:#3cb496;"I'm not supposed to be here...but I had to come back. I want you to teach me how to be a girl. I plan on looking feminine more often to piss off Mom even more."@@ You are surprised by the massive shift in Harold's desires...but perhaps his clash with his mother really was deep enough to promote this personal method of "revenge". Do you want to help teach him how to feminize himself more or not? [[Give him what he wants|HaroldLevel2F]] [[Advise against it|HaroldLevel2E]]

You decide that it's better to not promote an escalating war between Mrs. Ivy and Harold, so you advise him to take another path. <<print "@@color:"+$you.color+";\"Harold, while I am impressed that you're so accepting of a feminine appearence, you should really think about whether this is the right decision.

You welcome James back into the salon for his usual makeover, but his recently pleasent disposition seems to have shifted. @@color:#00506e;"Yo $you.name, can I talk to you for a second...somewhere private?"@@ he asks, his brow furrowed as he glances around the salon.

You decide that the best way to teach James about the error of his ways is through personal experience. Calling over you assistant, you tell her about James' homophobic remarks and ask her to give James a slightly feminine makeover. <<print "@@color:"+$employees[0].color+";\"Sounds good!

You decide that the best way to teach James about the error of his ways is through some hypnosis.
